Trump Suggests Armed Guard Could Have Stopped Pittsburgh Synagogue ShootingA gunman opened fire on the Tree of Life Congregation in Squirrel Hill, a largely Jewish community near Pittsburgh.President Donald Trump on Saturday stated that the mass shooting at a Pennsylvania synagogue had “little to do” with gun control laws, suggesting the “results would have been far better” if there had been “protection inside.”

“This is a case where if they had an armed guard inside … they would have been able to stop them,” Trump said.
